First Australian edition. 8vo. Original yellow pictorial boards. Light pencil name to half-title and title, lacking free endpapers, some light finger marking and similar, but overall internally sound; edge wear to boards, with upper cover working loose, spine a bit creased.
Twain (Mark, pseud. Samuel Langhorne Clemens) and C.D. Warner
The Gilded Age,
A Novel
Melbourne, George Robertson, 1874.
A rare edition of Twain and friend Warner’s satirical swipe at the greed and political corruption of post-Civil War America. WorldCat records only seventeen copies in institutional holdings, but presumably not all of those will be in the original yellow-back format boards, as in this case..
